Dark Night of The Soul II

The dark night of the soul

The light fades, you fade away. 
Hopes never lasting, as it's fake.
Doubt, the demon, wraps around your heart.
Tears your soul from you, plays a cruel part

Filling the empty sound with forgettable words and laughter.
A hallowed echo in this vacant place.
Fading from existence, joy.
Soon shadows replaced that space in your soul.

A flicker remains in the abyss.
A Sparkle of truth that eases our pain.
The plight is needed to capture you.
Tethering your soul to mine.

From the ashes, a Phoenix will rise.
Wiser and renewed.
The darknight, a bittersweet rest.
To emerge reborn, forever blessed
